Incidence of fatal snake bite in Australia: A coronial based retrospective study (2000-2016).
CONCLUSIONS: Death from snake bite remains rare in Australia, and has maintained a steady rate for over 20 years. Usually considered a 'rural issue', and with varying recorded causes of death, a nationally co-ordinated effort to further review the national picture of envenoming in Australia can inform education and resource needs within state and local contexts.
